Leadership as Improvisation
Renowned New Testament scholar N.T. Wright offers a compelling framework for understanding the arc of the Biblical story as a five-act drama or play. Imagine, he suggests, that you are a pre-eminent modern-day actor specializing in Shakespearean drama. In a stroke of unbelievable fortune, a previously unknown Shakespeare play is discovered in a dusty box in a basement in England, dated to the early 17th century. After a lengthy authentication process, it is indeed confirmed as an original work of Shakespeare and you are asked to play a lead role in its long-awaited debut on a London stage.
